Genealogy of the Kip Family.

The K.\[) Family is one of the oldest in New York, and as it was among
the earliest, so it was likewise one of the most respectable in New Amster-
dam. After the lapse of two hundred and forty years, but little change has
occurred in the sj^elling of the name, the chief and only one of which we
are aware, being the addition of another p, by a limited number of some of
the different branches of the family. Kip is the present generally accepted
orthography of the name, and this api)ears to be in accordance with the
early usage of the progenitors of the family in New York. The Knglish
c(iuivalantfor the Dutch word A'// is //r/i or CJiicken, and by following Mr.
Mark Antony Lower's ingenious method of accounting for surnamca, the
curious may here find tlie true significance of the name, and will, periiaps,
the more readily be led to assume tliat tliis is its proper derivative, from
t!ie fact that a game-cock, it is said, was one of the crests that surmounted
the arms of the first of the family of whom there is any notice in history.

It is proposed in the following monograph to trace ])articularly the pedi-
gree of Oerrit Kip^, son ofAbraham Kip^ and Maria Van den Herg, who
was burn in New York May ii, 1746, and married Feb. 12, 1768, Kllenor
or Nelletje Brouwer, and also to give some account of their descendants.
We shall, as far as our information enables us, notice as fully as possible
the first four generations of the Kips in this country ; to extend our re-
searches further, except in the instance above stated, would render this
sketch too voluminous, and tiierefore at variance with the original plan of
these contributions to the history of the ancient families of New York.

The transatlantic pedigree of the Kip family has api^earcd in various
American publications within die last thirty years, and while generally agree-
ing in the account given of Ruloff De Ky[)e, the first known ancestor of the
family in Europe, the statements in reference to the immigrant ancestor to
America, Hendricjc Hendrickszen Kip, have not always been in accord
with each other. Jt is impossible that the latter was the son of RulotT l)e
Kype*, angliciired to Kip, for had he been, his name would have appearM

6 THE KIP FAMILY.

in the early records of the Reformed Dutcli Church in New York as Hen-
drick Ruloffszen Kip, instead of as we now find it, Hendrick Hendrickszen
Kip. From tliis fact, and for the reason that no authority for the European
pedigree has been given in the publications referred to, it must with all
such of like character, be regarded with suspicion.*

I Hkndrick. Hkndkickszex Kip' (Kype), the ancestor of the Kip
family of New York, came to New Amsterdam prior to 1643, ^^'i^'"* ^''is wife,
[)robably 'I'ryntjef (anglici/ed Calliarinc), and five children who were born
in Amsterdam. It is i)robable that his sixth child l-'emmetje was born here,
his name ai)pearing at her baptism, April 19, 1643, as Mr. Hendrick Hen-
dricks/. He was perhaps of noble lineage, as it is related that the arms
of the family were i)ainted on the stained-glass windows of the first church
erected in New Amsterdam. They were also caived in stone over the
door of the Kip's Bay house, which is said to have been built in 1655,]; by
his son Jacob.§ They are described as follows: "Azure, a chevron tv,
between two griffins sejant and a sinister gauntlet apaume (tinctures not
given). Crest a demi-griffin holding a cross. Motto, 'Vestigia nulla
retrorsum.' " Hendrick Hendrickszen Kip was a tailor, his name ap})ear-
ing sometimes in the records simply as Hendrick the tailor, and again as

• 'llic fulluwiiiii is llic iieuii,'rec r<.ri.-iri;il lu. J'lif first aiiceslur of the Kip family of New York, of wli-mi
llicrc is any notice in liistory, was Riiloff 1 >e Kype of lirctagne, France, who was l>orn at)onl 1510-20. He
was a warm partizan of Francis Dnke of Cnisc, tlie furious and bijjoted leader of the Catholic party against
liic HuRiienots. On the triumph nf the PrMiestants, which occurred soon after the general massacre of the
inhal)itants of Vassey in Cham-paRne, in 1562. he tied to Holland with his three sons, whire they lived for
several years under an assumed name. In isC'9 he returned to J 'ranee with his son Jfenri, jonied the army
of the Duke of Anjou. and fell in hatlie near Jarnac, March 13, of that year. He was buried hv his son Jean
Maptistc, in a small church near jarnac, where an altar tomh was erected to his memory. "The inscription
on the tomb mentioned him as l^ri.!ii i- l)i: Kmk. I'ci W'.v. (this title designating a gentleman who had a
ri^ht to coat armor), and was surmounted by his arms, with two crests, one a game-cock, the other a demi-
grinfcn holding a cross, lx)th of which ciests have been used by diflerent branches of the family in this coun-
try." He left ismt

by Spain and Portugal. They fusi attempted to sail round the northern seas of

to sail to the westward, in the little Half Moon, with happier resuits." He came

Kip is recorded in the list of old members of the I")utch Church of New Amsterdam, on the second line

K'low that of Hendrick Kip, in the original record. As Tryntjc, or Catharine was a common name among

the Kips, I have thought it probable that Tryntie Kip al)ove alluded to. was the wife of Hendrick Kipi, and

that perhaps her family name was DKoooit.as Jacob Hendrickscn Kip-', a son of Hendrick Hendrickscii

llendrick Snyder Rip. To a "resolution adopted by the Conmionalty of
ihe Manhattans" in 1643, he signs his name, Hendrick Hendrickson
Kype. On the 28th April, 1643, he obtained a patent for a lot east of the
fort, in the present Bridge Street near Whitehall, where he erected his
dwelling-house and shop> He appears to have been a man of marked
individuality and to those he loved not, bitter and unrelenting, a (luality of
character his wife seems to iiave shared with him. 'The indiscriminate
massacre of one hundred and ten defenseless Indians, men, women and
children at Corlears hook, and Pavonia, on the night of February 25, 1643,
instigated and ordered by Duector-(ieneral Kieft, aroused in the breast of
Hendrick Kip a feeling of extreme hatred for that official, and he boldly
urged that he should be deposed and sent back to Holland.t On the 30th
August, 1645, the Court Messenger (Philip de Truy) was ordered to notify
the inhabitants to assemble in the fort wlien the colors are hoisted and the
bell rung, to hear the i)roposals for a treaty of peace about to be concluded
with the^'lndians. The Messenger reported that all the citi/.ens on the
Manhattans " from the highest to the lowest," would attend as they all had
answered kindly, except one Hendrick Kip, the tailor,| While the entire
community were willing to show some respect to Kieft on this public occa-
sion, tlie sturdy old burgher alone exhibited contempt for the "man of
blood,' and refused to do him honor.

After the departure of (lov. Kieft for Holland, which he was destined
never again to reach, § Hendrick Kip became at once one of the leading
men in New xXetherland. He was appointed by (iov. Stuyvesant's Council,
Sept. 25, 1647, one of the board of Nine Men, selected "from the most
notable, reasonable, honest, and respectable" of the citizens of the com-
monalty, to assist the Director, or (Governor, and Council ; this office he
also held in 1649, ''^"^ ^650. He was a Schei)en in 1656, appointed Feb. 2d,
of that year, and was adnntted to the rights of a great burgher April ir,
1657.11 ' He was probably the Hendrick op Kippenburg who was a witness,
March 24, 1664, in a suit between Covert J.oockermans and Burger Joris,
respecting the title to land in the Smith's Valley. ^i After the surrender of
New Voik he took the oath of allegiance to the Fnglish in October, 1664.
The name of Hendrick Kip, Senior, appears in the list of citi/.ens who
were assessed April 19, 1G65, to pay the board ond lodgings of soldiers
belonging to the city garrison.** This is the last mention found of him.
The names of Hendrick and Tryntie Kip, probably his wife, are recorded
in the list or register ft of old members of the Dutch Church of New Amster-
dam. O[)posite his name Dominie Selyns has written " ohyt op Kippeiibt(i\\^y"'
but the date is not given. In what part of Manhattan Island, Kii)penburg
was located is not known ; perhaps lucldibnr^^ or i*'ire Beacon Hill,

8 THE KIP FAMILY— VAN DF.R FfFJ'L,

situated near 36th Street and Fourth Avenue, and in the vicinity of tlie
old Kip farm, was so called at the period referred to.

Concerning his wife the following is taken from the Court proceedings at
New Amsterdam, Sept. 29, 1644. William de Key t-j. Hendrick Rip :
action for slander ; ordered that defendant's wife appear next Thursday,
and acknowledge in court, that what she said to the prejudice of the plain-
tiff is false, and not to re[)eat the offense on pam of severe punishment.*
She probably acknowledged her fault, whatever it may have been — as
ordered by the court, as we find no further account of the matter. On
Dec. 17, 1646, the Schout-Mscal (Cornelius Van der Huyghens) charged
her before the court with calling the Director (Kieft) and Council false
judges, and the T'iscal a forsworn iMscal. Hendrick Kip states that his
wife has been so upset, and so out of health, ever since ATaryn Adriaensen's
attempt to murder the Director (leneral (March 21, 1643), that when dis-
turbed in the least she knows not what she does. Mrs. Kip denies the
charge, and the parties are ordered to produce evidence on, both sides.f
What further proceedings, if any, in the case were taken, the records fail
to disclose. She and her husband were sponsors, July 4, 1657, at the
baptism of Anthony, son of Jan Janszen Van St. Obyn \alias Jan Wanshaer),
which is the last notice found of her, where her identity can be clearly
established. They probably had issue.

8. Isaac_Hendrickszkn Kip' (3), born in Amsterdam. He was ad-
milted to the rights of a great burgher with his father, April 11, 1657.
On the 2 1 St June, 1656, he and his brother Jacob obtained each a patent for
a lot of land m the siieep j)asturc at New Amsterdam. This locality, used
for the i)urpose indicated during nearly the whole ])eriod of the Dutch pos-
session, is described by Mr. \*alentine* as lying south of the city rami)arts
(which stretched across the Island about forty feet above the present line
of Wall Street), and '' covering the j)rcsent \\'all vStrcet and the block between
Wall Street, l'",xchange Place, Hanover Sc^uare, and IJroad Street."' Nassau
Street between Ann and Spruce was originally called Kip Street after one
of the family. f Mr. \'alentine says it was that part of Nassau Street below-
Maiden Lane, and so called in compliment to Jacob Kip the Secretary.
Isaac Kip was a Vacht Captain, engaged in the river trade between New
Amsterdam and the settlements at Ksoi)us (Kingston) and Fort Orange
(Albany). J. in 1665 he was living in I)e l^rouwer Straat, now Stone Street.
lie married fust, Feb. 8, 1653, Catalyntje Hendrick Snyers (Snyder?).
She was i)robably the dau. of Hendrick Janszen Snyder, or Hendrick Jans-
/en the tailor, and his wife Oeertje Scheerburch. Mr. Valentine§ says she
was a daughter of Oillis Pieteisen (Meyer), but he has mistaken the relation-
ship. She was i)robably the sister-in-law of Jillis or Gillis Pietersen (Meyer)
who married July 6, 1642, Flsje Hendricks, dau. of Hendrick Janszen Sny-
der above named. Isaac Kip married second, Sept. 26, 1675, at New
Harlem, Maria \'ervelje (\'ermilye), widow ofjoh. (Jean) de La Montague.
\\y his second wife he had no issue. He was living, in December, 1675,
at New Harlem, and then belonged to \\\q. first corporalship of night watcli
in that place.] He died prior to October 6, 1686. Issue :

9. i. Hendrick,^ bap. Feb. 8, 1654. Mr. Holgate in his American

ther, were co-patentees of the Manor of Kipsburg, a tract of land on the
east side of Hudson river where Rhinebeck now stands, extending four miles
along the river and seve'-al miles inland. This patent dated June 2, 1688,
contirmed an Indian title to the land given July 28, 1686. He was probably
the Lieut. Hendrick Kip of Capt. lialtus Van Kleeck's Comi)any of Foot,
in 1700, one of the eight Militia Companies in the counties of Ulster and
Dutchess.^,, He married and had a number of children who settled in the

chick^ (9) of the ^Tanor of Kijisburg. and who died Feb. 28, 1753. ^^'■•
Holgate makes a mistake which is followed by Bishop Kip in saying that
i^e was twice married, and tust to Mrs. Henrietta (Hendrickje) Wessels,
widow of Ciulian Verplanck. It was his cousin Jacobus^ (18) who married
this lady. He married Rachel Swartwout, and though I^ishop K.ip calls her
tlie daughter af John Swarthout (Swartwout), Fscj., 1 think it more probable
that she was the dau. of Roclotif Swartwout, first Sherift" of U'iltwyck, at
the Ksopus, and commissioned Dec. 24, 16S9, a Justice of Ulster Count)-,
r.oth Bisho[) Kip and iVfr. Holgate give the date of her birth April 10, 1669,
and her death Sept. 16, 1717. She was living Oct. 2, 1726, and with her
iuisband, then called Jacob Kip, Senior, was sponsor at the ba|)tisni of
Kachel, daii. of their son Isaac.

^2 THE k'lr FAMILY.

i6. Jacoi' Hkndkkkszkx Kip' (4), born in Amsterdam May 16, 1631.
In August (?), 1647,11c gave to Harman Hendricksen Droogh, his uncle, a
power of attorney to receive money due him from the West India Comi)any
at Amsterdam. The same year he was a cleik in the provincial Secretary's
office at New Amsterdam, and as early as Dec, 1649, was acting clerk in
Director Stuyvesant's Council.* He was api)ointed, Jan. 27, 1653, the
first Secretary of the Court of Uurgomasters and Sche[)ens of New Amster-
dam. Upon his resignation of that office June 12, 1657, he engaged in
Ikewing, combining with this business that of a general trader or store-
keei)er.f He was a member of the l^oard of Schei)ens in 1659, 1662, 1663,
1665, 1673, and president of the board in 1674. "On the ist of ^^arch,
1660, Aert Anthonissen Middagh, Tennis (lysberts IJogart, Jean I,e Clerc,
Cerrit Hendrick Backer. Philip l^archstoel, Christina Cappoens, Jacois
Kip, and Joris Rapalje, all residents of the AVaal-boght neigliborhood, j)eti-
tioned the Director for permission to form a village 'on the margin of the
liver between the lands of said Hogart and Kip, so that," as they exjiressed
it. ' we may be in sight of the Manhatans, or Fort Amsterdam.' The
l)osiiion selected was i)robably the elevated point of land which jutted into
the river about the foot of South Fourth Street, in the \)resent Eastern Dis-
trict of Brooklyn, and which was known in the ancient time as the ' Keike '
or ' Lookout.' "J There is no evidence, remarks the learned historian of
Brooklyn, that Jacob Kip ever resided on the lands above referred to, and
" it was probably owing to his desire to improve the value of his real estate,
by securing the establishment of a village thereon, that this petition was
made," and through his intluence with the authorities, was granted.

In early limes some member of the Kip family — was it Jacob or his
father? — obtained a patent for a farm of 150 acres, on the Kast River, on
what is still known as Kip's Bay. It is said that Jacob Kip in 1655, the
year after his marriage, erected on this flirm a house which was rebuilt in
1696, and was, for a short time during the Revolution, Washington's head-
«|uarters.s< It stood upon the line of [Kast J 35th Street, and was demol-
ished in 1851. His house in the city was built in 1657, and situated in
the \)resent Exchange Place. He owned a number of city houses and lots,
and in 1665 resided in the present Broad Street, near Exchange Place,
and was there probably as late as 1674.1 I" ^^^^ ^^^ ^^'^^^ living " Beyond
the Fresh Water," the Kip's Bav farm doubtless being the place alluded
to.* ' .

'I'he following paper, date'l 1657 (?), im[)erfect and unexecutetl, gives an
interesting description of a Dutch liouse of that period : " Conditions and
terms on which Jacob Kip, proposes to sell publich', to the highest bidder,
his house, kitchen, hen or hog yard, and lot lying in the city of [New]
Amsterdam, over against the house of Hcer Olott" Stevense [Van Cortland],
as the same is occupied by him. The house two and thirty feet long and
twenty feet broad, inclosed with thick planks and a glazed i)antile roof, has
a garret and tioor, cellar walled up three, four or five feet with stone, and
has a brick cliininey in the front room, also a shop, the partition walls of
bricks, the inner room built up with brick all around {rondtom)^ bedstead,

kitchen eiglu or nine feet wide and seventeen or eighteen feet long, on the
>ide of the house, with a brick chimney, in use by him, together with a hen
or hog yard in the rear, and the place paved with bricks, and an apple
tree therein, also a common gangway on the west side of the house six feet
wide, and a conimon well, anil what more is thereon and fast in earth and

nailed, e.\ce])t the andirons {/iiindr.ir) and hearth stone " *

This house and lot was probably situated in the present Stone Street.

Jacob Ki|) married March 8,' .1654, NXai^v-dau. of Dr. Johannes l)e ! a
Montague and Rachel ArohjKur.''" The' Vevoftfof their marriage states thai
she was from Amsterdam. She. was born Jan. 26, 16^^, at sea oti" the
island of Madeira, on the voyage of her parents to New Netherland.f Her
father, born in 1592, was a Huguenot physician— a man of great and
varied learning— who was, soon after his arrival here, appointed by (iov.
Kieft a member of the Council, in which otfice he was continued by (iov.
Stuyvesant, until the 28th of Sept., 1656, when he was appointed Vice-
diVector at I'ort Orange (Albany). Jacob Kip died about the year 1690,
and the last notice found of his witlow is on the 2isl May. 1701, at which
